A little Small Business Saturday today shouting out the lovely .bricks.silver who first came into my life almost 25 years ago when we started high school (oh gosh I feel old!).
She was truly one of my closest most amazing friends during those teenage years, with so many wonderful (hilarious and emotional) memories that I still looked back on fondly (and with many a cringe at times!)
But as it often does, life happened and we drifted apart as university, jobs and the real world took over. You always think at the time that these friends will be with you for life and you'll know every in and out of their lives, but adult responsibilities and changing paths often have other plans and whilst the love remains the contact fades.
But last year the universe had other plans and at a time when my world was heavy with grief and loss it gave me a little glimmer of forgotten memories as our paths crossed again. Now no longer teenagers hanging out in castle gardens, or texting till our credit ran out, now instead two small business owners finding our way in a busy and fast paced world.
I spent many a month trying to decide which of her lovely pieces I was going to buy, but when she shared her snakeys it was decision made. This little guy arrived last month (on my birthday no less!) and I've rarely been without him since. Her work is absolutely stunning, from the necklace itself to the beautiful packaging, this truly is a lovely piece I will treasure and without a doubt won't be my last! It goes without saying I would highly recommend her for any silver jewellery.
So thank you so much .bricks.silver for both those heady teenage years and the new found paths we find ourselves meeting on now. Here's to the people who come back into your lives and here's to finally meeting up again this year ❤️
